We\u2019re just too busy. Lots of fun things have happened since we last wrote. The week following, Tommy\u2019s parents came to visit. They stayed for a week, and then we all drove out to Westchester County, New York, for his grandmother\u2019s 80th\u00a0birthday party. It was a great time! It was held at a very nice club, with plenty of great food and a fantastically corny Polish DJ. It was wonderful to spend that time with family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3520084805_3efed45eec_b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10\" title=\"3520084805_3efed45eec_b\" src=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3520084805_3efed45eec_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3520084805_3efed45eec_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3520084805_3efed45eec_b-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Memorial Day weekend we went camping at White Lake State Park in New Hampshire. It was a little crowded\u2014the sites were very close together\u2014but it was the best we could do on short notice. Who knew how quickly campsites book up around here! We still really enjoyed it. The lake was lovely and so peaceful. We did some hiking, some canoeing, and lots of reading in our hammock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604492755_914f404f14_b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11\" title=\"3604492755_914f404f14_b\" src=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604492755_914f404f14_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604492755_914f404f14_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604492755_914f404f14_b-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It has definitely warmed up in the past few weeks, but it\u2019s still nowhere near hot. As far as we\u2019re concerned, it\u2019s springtime perfection. This kind of weather is unheard of in June in Louisiana\u2014it barely approaches 80 degrees. We are loving Boston! We\u2019ve done some bike riding and had a beautiful picnic on Boston Common a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend we rented a kayak and went out on the Charles River. It was lovely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3606685443_83303b5fa7_b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12\" title=\"3606685443_83303b5fa7_b\" src=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3606685443_83303b5fa7_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3606685443_83303b5fa7_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3606685443_83303b5fa7_b-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We have done a lot of cooking lately, and ventured into more culinarily difficult dishes. During a short Thai phase after a particularly inspiring trip to our local oriental food store, we made pad thai, curry, and chili fish all from scratch.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Next on the list is drunken noodles. We\u2019ve also enjoyed making sushi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604541579_e175749872_b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13\" title=\"3604541579_e175749872_b\" src=\"http:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604541579_e175749872_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604541579_e175749872_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katieandtommy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/3604541579_e175749872_b-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Now summertime is quickly approaching. Tommy will be leaving soon for Trujillo, Peru, and Katie will be staying in Boston continuing her research until meeting him there in late July.
